Another tip: Some of the cardio videos can be very intense. If it feels like too much, try doing half the video or substituting with another type of cardio you feel comfortable with. Don't overdo it and strain anything! I am only doing the weight lifting part of P90X classic (3x per week) and trying to do Couch to 5K 3x per week (although on weeks I have less time, I sometimes sacrifice the runs). I am still seeing great results doing this. I love the weight lifting videos a lot and they can be easily modified.
I will say when I tried Yoga X and Core Synergistic the video went through moves too fast for me, and I was not smart and tried to keep up and ended up straining some muscles for a few days (nothing awful but still not fun). So just be smart and listen to your body when you do the cardio DVDs. Work up to the pace that Tony goes at in the DVD. I haven't run into this problem at all with the weight lifting routines, however.0 -
Day 1 of P90X...I'm going to be sore! I do love the amount of substitutions offered in the video. I was able to complete all the exercises with the substitutions without getting discouraged. Chest/back and Ab Ripper X down...here we go!0

my personal philosophy is this: sometimes you just have to jump and build your wings on the way down.
Seriously like this!
Me too! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
